Slide 1 von 5

Turning the wheel

What is the interpretation of the radius and phase of the spinning wheel in the quantum dimension?

A combination of many probabilities will never lead to a decrease of the total probability in classical physics. A rotating wheel, on the other hand, fluctuates between positive and negative values. In such a way, two principles can be combined in quantum physics: probability and interference.

The phase of the rotating wheel remains hidden from us in a space which will only be revealed to us indirectly via digital measurement data and a fascinating mathematical description in the Hilbert space, which we call – the quantum dimension.
